Mr. Meen explained that an Ontario resident must file an Ontario Tax Credit form, to- gether with a completed federal income Tax Return, in order to claim Ontario tax credits. "Many people complete their tax returns in the evening and on weekends," the minister noted, "and if they run into a problem with the tax Igedit Port, ► . return, we want tuna to cal4.

Teachers initiate study to improve education The Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation is directing a major.study of what secondary schools are doing and what they should be doing in the future. The Federation is spending about $75,000 to survey actual condi- tions and suggestions for -educa- tional improvement, with the results to be published in book form in the summer. The project began a year ago with the idea that some group independent of the Ministry of Education should attempt to develop recommendations for the development of secondary educa- tion. Teachers know what's happening in schools better than any other group, but they rarely have the time to draw back, to gain perspective on the long term effects of change. The real question is whether we are doing the best things for the generation who will be Ontario's and Canada's leaders and pro- ducers before the year 2,000. To answer that question, OSSTF has surveyed its entire membership, has invited briefs from industry, labor, from groups of all sorts,. and has sponsored a series . of public forums throughout the province to get the thoughtful, opinion of the public. So far, the Receive three at Sunday service GORRIE = Rev. John Brush of - the Presbyterian churches of - Molesworth and Gorrie received Tom ,Graham, Karen Underwood and Lori Moir into the Gorrie church on profession of faith at the Sunday morning service.

It shows that there is a body of opinion on the purposes of secondary educa- tion that has not been perceived or stated by either. politicians or civil servants. This opinion:gathering is now at its height. Throughout the province, special project teams are working on particular ques- tions.
